Expression of neutrophil secondary granule protein (SGP) genes is coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level, and is disrupted in specific granule deficiency and leukemia. We analyzed the regulation of SGP gene expression by luciferase reporter gene assays using the lactoferrin (LF) promoter. Reporter plasmids were transiently transfected into non-LF-expressing hematopoietic cell lines...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to hypothesize that elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) could act as an endogenous neprilysin inhibitor. BACKGROUND A hallmark of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is the overproduction of natriuretic peptides (NPs) by stretched cardiomyocytes. Various strategies have been developed to potentiate the beneficial effect of the NPs, including the recent ...

Abstract Background The 5th MTF is a common injury occurring in the long bone joining ankle to toes. This can be categorised into two main sub-sections, namely green zone fractures (GZF) and red (RZF) which are treated differently. Moreover, patients suffering from uncomplicated GZF discharged directly emergency department (ED), whereas complex cases require review orthopaedic doctors. Due time...

Controlled diluted aqua regia addition leads to NIR (near infrared) luminescence from aggregated gold nanoparticles at 916 nm. This turn-on luminescence has been observed for gold nanoparticles, regardless of reductants used in their preparation. These aggregated nanoparticles are nontoxic and have been used for bioimaging in human liver carcinoma cells.
